Official Newsletter of the KAYPRO USERS' GROUP
YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED
Mr. and Mrs. Digital
and
Mr. and Mrs. Microsoft
request the honor of
your presence at the
marriage of their children
CP/M
to
MS-DOS
r.s.v.p.
Why not? These two have been going steady
for quite some time now.
First it was the co-power board that
allowed KUGGERs to get a start in the
MS-DOS world. However, it only ran some
of the DOS software. But it was a step in
the right direction. Before long the
co-power board was running LOTUS on a
KAYPRO ! That was PROGRESS.
Many Kaypro users also used DOS machines
at work but had to use telephones and
modems to transfer their work (mostly
word processing or ASCII files). That
problem was solved with the coming of the
MuJti-format program. This program
allowed CP/M users and MS-DOS users to
format their disks so that they were
interchangeable. This method was faster
and a lot less expensive.
Now there is a hard disk system that
allows you to use both CP/M and MS-DOS on
the SAME DRIVE! It was just introduced by
WestWind (see advertisement inside), and
it opens a whole new area of quasi-
compatibi I i ty .
We receive letters from KUGGERs who are
using CP/M Kaypros and have recently
purchased the Kaypro 2000, the MS-DOS
portable. The movement of data and files
does not seem to be a problem. They use
the portable on the road or at home and
then transfer files to the CP/M machine
via a null modem cable.
Although we, at KUG, enjoy the new
software available for the DOS computers,
DOS does not stack up to CP/M»s speed of
operation. Now, we are happy to see that
more and more software programmers and
publishers are offering their DOS
programs in CP/M as well.
Since we do use both in our reviews and
our public domain library (see inside),
the new methods of moving files in CP/M
and MS-DOS become an important part of
KUG life. Technology moves quickly.
Perhaps WestWind will come up with a
method that will allow us to use both
operating systems and have them talk to
each other.
»
Imagine networking between 8 bit (CP/M)
and 16 bit (MS-DOS) machines and then
using one printer for output.
Wouldn't it be nice to have a simple
modification that would allow the Kaypro
to have a front panel switch which would
read "CP/M MS-DOS UNIX"?
Perhaps, if the marriage takes place, the
offspring may have the answer. Until then
Keep those files moving.

Dear KUG,
Since I seem to be one of very few people
running Supercalc 2 on Kaypro, I would be
glad to help any others who may be
interested in using what I think is the
easiest to learn and most powerful
spreadsheet.
I also run Supercalc 2 in CP/M86 on the
SWI Co-Power Board with 256K. This
permits 209K of usable capacity versus
29K on a standard 64K machine.
I would be interested in hearing from
other Co-Power users. I have yet to be
able to run any MS-DOS program or demo. I
am able to get directories and read or
print .HLP files or .DOC files, but all
the programs seem to try to load and then
stop .
The newsletter is great! Every issue has
several worthwhile additions to our
"knowledge base." Thanks.

Dear KUG,
ATTN: Perfect Writers
Suppose you want to double-space in
verbatim mode. Just before saving your
text replace all your CR's (carriage
returns) with double CR's. That is:
ESC...R <CR> ESC with <CR> <CR> ESC
To go back to single space, do the
opposite:
ESC...R <CR> <CR> ESC with <CR> ESC

Dear KUG,
Dear KUG,
Just a note to reinforce what others are
writing about: As a "dedicated" CP/M user
(Kaypro 2X] , I ask that you PLEASE keep
up the information in KUGRAM on CP/M. It
is invaluable, and given the industry
move towards MS-DOS, I want to be sure I
am involved as a subscriber with an
organization that respects and continues
to support good old CP/MM Thanks.

Dear KUG,
It is time to renew my membership in KUG,
so enclosed is my check for $15.00. I
have enjoyed my subscription, especially
the WordStar column by Chiang. I now use
a COMPAQ Plus in conjuction with my job,
so the "MS-DOS Stuff" column has been
very helpful. Please keep the articles
coming for both the novice and the
technical user, as I have found all of
them educational. Also, there are many of
us using Perfect Software, so articles
about ways to get more from the various
programs wi I I be helpful. Keep up the
good work.

Dear KUG,
An even easier "fix" than Ernest Hutton's
for screen glare is to get some black
Velcro and use just the hooked piece.
Measure the length from the top lefthand
corner around the outside of the bezel to
the bottom right hand corner. Cut a piece
of Velcro that length, then slit it down
the center lengthwise. Using tacky glue,
glue it onto the outside edge of the
bezel. Leave overnight. Your "kinky
computer" can then have the stocking
removed or replaced as desired. Very
effective and easier than making a
frame — at least for me it was.

Readers who haven't taken a look at the
CP/M Stuff columns for July-Aug. and
Sept. -Oct. are missing some excellent
advice on how to set up menu-driven
programs with only the CP/M utilities PIP
and SUBMIT. These procedures will also
work to set up directions and
instructions for your programs, and
provide easy entry as well. Having
accumulated quite a few programs and
disks for my Kaypro II computer in the
last couple of years, I consider it
important to be able to run a program
without consulting the menual again, or
trying to figure out files by looking at
a directory.
Instead of setting up a MENU file, I set
up an INSTRUCT file which contains
directions as to the nature of the
program and how to go about booting it
up. I've found that it is easier to use
the non-document mode of WordStar, rather
than PIP, to enter information into this
file. You can experiment with multiple
carriage returns at the top of the file
to clear the screen of everything but
your directions. This gives your
directions a professional appearance on
the screen.
Then to get your directions to boot up
automatically, copy your files to a fresh
disk. At the end of the copy procedure,
the computer asks for an initial command
line (file name) to bypass the A> prompt.
Here, just enter SUBMIT INSTRUCT, or S I
if you have RENamed your files with just
one letter for simplicity.
Now all you have to do is pop your disk
into the computer after you have first
turned it on, or push the RESET button to
watch it all happen without having to
make a single key-stroke.

[Editor's note: Our thanks to Michael
Gilhousen for his comments. We think he
has a crystal ball for anticipating our
current CP/M Stuff column. See page 18 of
this issue for more on SUBMIT. We welcome
other KUGGERs' letters telling us how
they use this versatile program.]
Dear KUG,
Dear KUG,
I would like to voluntarily and highly
endorse a book on the use of MS-DOS
entitled appropriately, RUNN I NG MS-DOS ,
by Van Wolverton (Microsoft Press, 1 984] -
As an owner of a Kaypro 16, I share the
dissatisfaction that many co-owners must
also face with some of the documentation
that comes with the machine.
Although the bundled documentation on
MS-DOS 2.11 is an excellent reference
tool for that forgotten command or
parameter — once the user has mastered
the system, it is poor on teaching
application; granted that was not its
intention. On the other hand, RUNN ING
MS-DOS is excellent on both counts. It
teaches the use of DOS commands through
clear, non-intelligence insulting
explanations of what the command does [as
well as what it doesn't], in addition to
valuable applications that the user is
likely to have a need for during the
course of a session in front of the
machine.
Thanks go to A I Gerson for recommending
the book to me. As he promised, it is one
of the best books currently in print on
this operating system... a must for all
users using MS-DOS environments.

Dear KUG,
We tried two different 10Mb external disk
drives from Systems Peripherals
Consultants in San Diego. Both failed
within two days, ate our data, and were
returned. If any KUG members are
considering these and would like a
detailed run-down of the many problems we
had, call me at 808/935-2470, 9:00-5:30
Monday - Saturday. The worst of it was
that, after loading a complete inventory
program (154 pages of data] and ledger,
etc., the backup disks would only print
hard copies — wouldn't reload back into my
K-4 or the new K-10. Took 8 days of
re-entering manually into the 10.

Hi lo, HI 96720
I edit a newsletter similar to the
KUGRAM. Tired of the sluggish performance
of Perfect Writer and The Word Plus, I
installed a 5 MHz speed-up kit from
Highlands Microkit. While this helped, it
was not enough. I decided to buy a 1 Mb
RAM disk from Advent. While the product
is excellent, the instructions were not.
Several capacitors had to be moved to the
bottom of the Kaypro II main board, and
the RAM disk board could not be installed
as described in the instructions.
After the installation I powered up the
computer and found that the improvement
in performance was nothing short of
incredible. Perfect Writer now loads in a
fraction of a second, and disk swapping
is virtually instantaneous, even with
swap files greater than 64K. The Word
Plus is so fast it's hard to believe I'm
working the same program. In addition,
the RAM disk is completely silent!
To use the RAM disk I PIP over all of my
software from floppies to the RAM disk,
and use the two floppy drives as the
auxiliary drives after logging on to the
RAM disk. Since everything in the RAM
disk would be lost if the computer is
turned off, I wired in an extra switch to*
turn off the floppy drives and the CRT
when the computer is not in use, but
still leave the rest of the circuitry
powered .
These simple changes have made my old
Kaypro II '83 virtually a new
computer — seemingly faster than the
mini-computer I use at work. For $700, I
consider it a bargain, especially
considering the amount of time saved per
issue of "The Cave Cricket Gazette"
edited on this old workhorse.
One last thing... From the results of
your survey, few Kaypro users are using
the Plu*Perfect enhancements. To all of
you who have not done so, their
Plu*Perfect Writer program could be the
most useful $40 you've ever spent. (Their
software is also compatible with my RAM
disk.)

New W/P Users' Group
A new users' group has been organized by
the staff of KUG and KUGRAM.
The Word/Processing Users' Group (W/PUG)
offers the computer user another area of
communication through the bi-monhly
newsletter, SCROLL.
SCROLL wi I I contain:
Articles of interest to all users of word
processing ... Articles of interest to
writers, written by writers ... Articles
on business writing, written by people in
business ... Articles on * educational
writing, written by educators ... A
secretary's column written by a
professional secretary.
All areas of word/processing will be
covered, including reviews of the latest
W/P software enhancements, hardware and
periphera I s .
A public domain library of material used
for word processing ... and available in
more than 100 different disk formats
wi I I a I so be offered .
The format and operation of W/PUG will be
similar to that of KUG. W/PUG will have a
mail interchange column named BOX 144 and
will help establish local W/P user groups
around the world.
W/PUG also plans to operate a national
W/PUG Bulletin Board and will offer a
complete telecommunications package to
all members. A column of Best of W/PUG BB
will become part of the newsletter.
If you use your Kaypro for word
processing, you should become a member of
W/PUG. Send your name, address, phone
number, the model of your computer and
printer, the name of the word processor
you are using along with $15.00 to:
W/PUG
P.O. BOX 144
MALVERNE, NY 11565
If you are a member of KUG, you can save
20% by writing your KUG ID# on a check
for only $12.00 sent to the above
address.
Perfect Filer Database
You can have two database files on one
disk if they are in different user areas,
but keep in mind that each separate
DATABASE needs its own MEMBER. H file.
Thus, you can keep on one disk separate
lists of private and business addresses
which could share the same list formats.
The list formats could be PIP'd over from
one user area to another, but never
attempt to PIP database files from one
user area to another! You may change the
user areas of DATABASE and MEMBER. H back
and forth (using MAKE.C0M) or else make
them accessible from different areas
using public domain (such as DUPUSR.COM).
If one of your database files is in user
area 1 of drive B, then the following
files must be accessible in user area 1
of drive A, together with the COM files
(FILER, MOVE, and CREATE): SETUP; MAIL;
LIST; DEFSS; DEFPF0RM; DEFLF0RM; ACCIND;
TERMINAL. DEF; and TEMPLATE. SAV.
PERFECT FILER SUBSET
Did you know that the subset commands
"Greater than," "Less than," etc.
recognize alphabetic characters as well
as numbers? "Less than C*" means "word
starting with A or B." (The manual does
not specify this.)
PERFECT FILER LIST FORMAT
When preparing a list, the last line of
the list can get lost. Precaution:
include a "carriage return" string after
the last logical field, or set the "page
size" in the "page format" menu.
Sometimes the bottom margin seems to be
ignored and the printing continues down
past that desired margin. The cause must
be that each "member" occupies a number
of lines greater than the margin. So, if
the bottom margin is 10 lines and the
member is formatted to occupy 11 lines,
this could (sometimes) cause a problem.
To avoid it, set the number of lines in
the bottom margin at least equal to the
number of lines occupied by the member.

Borland Says Thank You.
You Treated Us Right.
So Now It's Our Treat.
There are lots of nice ways to say "Thank you." One of the nicest is,
'We'll give you the best software at the lowest price," with special offers
to you when you and your group buy Borland software.
It was you and groups like yours
that got us going, kept us going back
in the days when the critics were say-
ing "those guys will never make it."
You recognized quality products at
less than Jesse James prices. You
appreciated the simplicity and fairness
of our licensing agreements. Then
and now, you like our "not copy-
protected" policy. And our "60-day
money-back guarantee" is special in a
business where the most guarantee
you'll get from some people is what
we call the YOYO Guarantee ... 4 You
ordered it, you own it, good luck!"
Borland doesn't act that way. To us a
guarantee is a commitment. You can
depend on it.
You were, and are, part of what has
become a software revolution.
An ongoing revolution because
we're not sitting on our hands.
New products are in the works. Origi-
nal products have been improved and
enhanced. Current products are top of
the line and top of the charts. None of
this would have happened without
you— and we haven't forgotten.
You gave us a start, so we're giving
you a break. Get your group together,
figure out what you need and our
Sales Department will figure out the
rest.
We're easy to talk to. MCI Mail:

Get Organized
Most of us have accumulated a great many
public domain files and put them on any
disk that had the capacity to hold them.
However, finding a particular file when
we need it is another matter. To
eliminate this confusion, I took the time
to give my files some semblance of
organization in order to minimize the
time to find a fi I e.
The first step is to tranfer each file to
a disk which contains a particular
category. If there is not enough room on
one disk for all the files in the
category, then set up a second disk and a
third and a fourth if necessary.
Step number two consists of making a
master file of all of your disks by using
the "YANC" program which is available
from the public domain (#159 from KUG
Library}. I have set up the categories by
numbering each disk with a minus (-) and
a 3 digit number. This number will appear
as the first file on each disk directory.
The Yanc file will enable you to number
each disk. I have arranged the categories
for my files as follows:
From To
CALC AND FINANCES 050—090
UTILITIES 100—150
MODEM 160—170
WORDSTAR 180—200
CUSTOM FONTS 210—220
WRITER-SPELLER 230—240
FILER 250—270
GAMES 300—320
SPECIAL PROGRAMS 350—400
After entering all disks into the Yanc
master file, make a printout of the
master directory, eliminating repetitive
files that may appear on every disk (PIP,
D, COPY, etc.). This master file will
enable you to locate each file at a
glance.
But there is more each disk should
then have a directory printout taped on
its sleeve.
This system has made my life much more
p I easant .

HBACK and H*SOFT Review
by Arlene Smith
Well, it finally happened. All 10 megs
filled up. Operation was so s-l-o-w.
Files were fragmented. A MASSIVE cleanup
and reorganization was imperative.
Of course, we had insufficient backups of
the Kaypro 10 hard disk. After all, who
has the time to spend backing up 10 megs
of junk ... er, stuff... er, important
files. An efficient backup system was
vital . We tried HBACK.
HBACK uses the third of the defined CP/M
status flags, ARC. (The first two are SYS
and R/0). When you do a full backup with
HBACK, set this flag to "A." The next
time you access the file, HBACK will
unset the flag. When you do a daily (or
incremental) backup, specify only those
files that do not have the ARC flag set.
Simple and fast.
However, the flag routine can't identify
changes in randomly accessed files, such
as dBASE .DBF or .NDX files. You have to
tell HBACK to change these flags. It's
not a big deal, however.
HBACK computes how many disks a backup
requires, and tells you before the
procedure begins. No more starting a
backup and running out of disks when
there are only two more files to go.
We also added a ROM enhancement, H*S0FT.
H*S0FT requires the replacement of one of
the Kaypro »s chips and the reformatting
of the directory tracks. In return, you
get an additional 1MB of storage. So, I
now have a 10 MB hard disk with an 11 MB
capacity. Not bad. It even seems to work
faster.
Another H*S0FT feature is the directory
program, C.C0M. It shows the file name
and size, and the status of the SYS, R/0
and ARC flegs. Type C <DRIVE>: <USR> to
see the directory of a particular user
area, or C <DRIVE>: . (period) to see all
files in all user areas.
HBACK and H*S0FT, by Hu I I and Software ,
are available from Invent Software, 199
Willis Ave., Mineola, NY 11501. Prices:
HBACK alone, $49.95. H*S0FT alone,
$75.00. Both, $100.00.

Port to Port
by Katherine Loukides
Files can be moved easily between a NEC
PC-8201A lap computer and a Kaypro.
Though the NEC comes with four manuals,
documentation on transferring files is
scanty.
Here is the procedure for transferring a
file from the NEC to the Kaypro after
STATing the NEC at 3I71XS:
1) Attach the RS-232C cable to
appropriate ports on both machines and
turn them on.
2) Place the MODEM disk in Drive A and a
formatted disk in Drive B.
3) At the NEC main menu, move the cursor
to the file to be transferred. Do NOT
press <CR>.
4) At A> type MODEM <CR> (or whatever
your telecommunications program is
ca 1 1 ed] .
5] Type T B : <FI LENAME . EXT> <CR>.
(Filename need not be the same as on the
NEC.)
6) Wait a few seconds until the Kaypro
falls silent. Enter Ctrl-Y.
7) When the Kaypro screen reads "Memory
buffer open" and you see a colon, press
"Save" (function key f-2) on the NEC.
Answer "Save <filename> as:" with COM:
<CR>. Answer "Ready?" with Y. Watch the
file print out on the Kaypro screen.
8] When the screen clears, enter Ctrl-E.
9) Type WRT after the three beeps. This
writes your file to the disk.
10} Type CPM at the next command request
to get back to the CP/M prompt.
11) Check dir at A>. The file should be
I isted .
12) At A> type TYPE B: <FI LENAME. EXT > to
verify that the file is on Drive B.
13) Replace the MODEM disk with a word
processing program, warm boot, and format
the fi I e.
To transfer a .DO (document) file from a
Kaypro disk to the NEC, you will need
PIP.COM on the disk. The NEC will give
the extension .DO to any transferred
file.
1) Attach the RS-232C cable to both
machines and turn them on.
2) Place your file disk in Drive A and
warm boot.
3) On the NEC, place the cursor over
TELCOM. Hit <CR>.
4) Press function key f-5 (Term).
5) Press function key f-3 (Echo). That
word will disappear from the screen.
6) Press function key f-5 again. (Now it
reads "Down.")
7) Answer "File to download?" with a
filename (no extension; the NEC will
automatically give it the extension .DO).
It does not have to be the same name as
on the disk. This is the name the NEC
will list on its main menu with the
extension .DO.
8) The cursor will move to the next line
and the word "Down" will appear in
inverse video. The NEC is now ready to
receive.
9) At A> type PIP TTY : =<F I LENAME .EXT > .
Don't forget the colon after TTY. Use the
full name of the file as it appears on
the disk, including the extension, if
any.
10) Hit <CR>. The file will echo on the
NEC screen.
11) When the complete file has been
downloaded and the Kaypro screen shows
A>, press "Down" (f-5) again.
12) Then press f-10 (Bye).
13) To get back to the main menu, press
f-10 a second time.
14) At the main menu you will see your
file listed. Move the cursor to the
filename and hit <CR>. Your file will
appear.
You can now write "on the run."
PW Underline Solutions
Academic PW users with dot matrix
printers are frustrated by the inability
of Perfect Formatter's footnote and
underline commands to uti I ize the true
inalf-lme] superscripting and continuous
underlining capabilities of their
printers. Here are solutions to each
p rob I em .
Write files with footnotes embedded in
the text for ease of composition. Set the
style parameter for bottom-of-page notes,
and don't worry about "note wrap" errors
when printing rough drafts. For the final
draft, set the style • parameter for
endnotes, and utilize the quick and easy
Backgrounder macro described in
Plu*Perfect Writer's Backgrounder manual
[first edition) to move the notes
sequentially into a separate buffer. Work
one file at a time until all the notes
for your chapter or paper are assembled
in a single buffer, then write the buffer
to disk as a note fi le.
Then, define another even simpler
Backgrounder macro to replace the
<§*iote[word word word] strings in every
file with the following string:
@I"@ref'note"»@set"note=+1". At the
beginning of the first file for the
chapter put ©set (note=1 ) . Repeat these
steps for the note file if you wish to
produce superscripted numbers in the
notes [see KUGRAM 3/4, p. 4). Finally,
set the page counters appropriately for
this and other chapters.
One must then use PFCONFIG to define PW's
italics command [question 23] as the
printer's superscript on/off toggle.
PW users will note that this method
preserves Perfect Formatter's ability to
automatically renumber footnotes if
changes are subsequently made in the
draft, as in the split screen method
described in KUGRAM 1/3, p. 10 and 2/5,
p. 15. Users inexplicably without the
Backgrounder should use this split screen
method while composing but substitute the
note string described above for PW's note
or superscript commands.
PFCONFIG can be used to define the
boldface string in every device type
[question 21) as the printer's continuous
underline on/off toggle.
The resulting continuous underlines,
however, bleed across blank spaces and
margins to the next non-space character
One must therefore define a keyboard
character as a non-printing ASCII
character, and place this character in
the text after every underlining.
I used the »%" character because other
less used characters were defined for the
Pm?r F T Ch character set. Enter
PFCONFIG and select option 5, "Edit
character translation tables." Select
Table 0, and confirm that every character
translates into itself. Then change the
character of your choice to an ASCII
control character that is meaningless to
your printer.
Return to the main menu and select option
4, Edit character width tables." Select
Table 0, and define the width of "%'» as 0
micas. Make sure the values of all other
characters are 254 micas, including
number 127 (the non-printing delete
character) if you wish Perfect Formatter
Jnr>n^ b,e Space between sentences (see
KUGRAM 2/3, p. 10, but note that a value
of 254 micas gives two blank spaces
between sentences). The zero width of the
non-printing character will prevent it
messing up right justification and
centering.
Then answer "Yes" (and "Table 0") to
questions 7 and 17 in the definition menu
of every desired printer device.
PW's sectioning commands ("©unnumbered"
etc.) can no longer be used because they
will underline instead of boldfacing. To
retain the boldface command one can
alternatively use the character
translation table to define another
seldom used character as the "EscaDe"
toggle. K
Futhermore, since each separately
underlined word must be surrounded by
formatting commands, one might do better
to mark underlining initially with PW's
regular underline command, and then skim
through the text at final draft time with
3 or 4 keys defined with Backgrounder to
enter the @B()% commands.

Kaypro Upgrading
by: Blake Van Meter
People Talk Associates
Imagine a Kaypro with floppy drives that
run like a hard disk, or with a hard
drive which rivals the speed of ram-
disks. This Kaypro is not an electronic
Volkswagen but a turbo-computer of
incredible speed and versatility.
Imagine your original, Kaypro supplied
hard disk providing almost 12 megabytes
of storage and allowing you to divide it
into seven different logical drives. The
screen is faster and will turn itself off
to save the CRT; you can dump screen
contents from any program. Available
memory is increased.
Too good to believe? Until now, yes. Now
your Kaypro can be the computer of your
dreams with the installation of only ONE
product.
EVERY Kaypro should have one, and
probab I y wi I I .
The TurboROM is the joint effort of
Advent Products and Plu*Perfect Systems,
two companies well known for their top
quality products and support.
The TurboROM transforms the Kaypro by
correcting its biggest problem, disk
speed [comparable to funnel ing Niagara
Falls through a sewer pipe), with the
implementation of a vastly more efficient
disk format. The results:
— The floppy disk reads 5 times and
writes 4 times faster with 256 directory
entries avai I ab I e.
— The original Kaypro hard disk runs 3
to 4 times faster and can be reformatted
to provide almost 12 megabytes storage
(almost 3 megabytes are currently lost to
Kaypro 's primitive formatting, Read/Write
head landing areas, and error/bad sector
handl ing) .
During the format process the physical
drive can be divided into seven logical
drives of up to 8 megabytes each and
directory space and data block size can
be specified.
Actual speed increases from the above
enhancements are demonstrated by a timed
comparison of saving the entire 64K of
RAM contents to a standard Kaypro 4 disk:
55 seconds [Kaypro) to 14 [TurboROM)!
The above measurement involves writing to
disk only. Perhaps a more meaningful test
is a timed comparison of reading and
writing to disk. Loading four Perfect
Writer files totaling 64K takes 68
seconds on a standard Kaypro and only 54
seconds on the TurboROM machine. Loading
files into PW involves reading portions
of a file from disk and writing it to the
swap file, then repeating the process
until all data has been read.
According to our tests the TurboROM can
increase performance from between 25% and
400%. Obviously, the individual time
saved varies greatly, depending entirely
upon the nature of the task.
Speed enhancement is the most valuable
benefit from TurboROM installation, but
there are many others:
1. Extra drives are supported (up to 112
megabytes with an external cabinet).
2. Programs to run extra drives and ram-
disks are contained in ROM.
3. Kaypro 10 TPA (available memory)
is increased to 63K.
4. Screen dump is available at any time;
automatic timed CRT shutoff.
5. Optional multi-format program ($49);
runs extremely fast.
6. Automatically recognizes six formats:
Kaypro II and 4
(84 models read Xerox and Osborne SD)
Micro Cornucopia
Osborne DD (Double-Density)
Advent 40 and 80 track drives
7. Installation requires no soldering
or permanent modification.
Not only is the installation of the
TurboROM itself extremely easy, it also
comes with installation software which
automatically builds a new CP/M boot
disk.
How much will your BI0NIC KAYPRO cost?

Enemies of Kaypro®...
Spikes,
Surges, and Noise
The Kaypro has enemies. But now you can
protect it from the mish mash of electrical
currents that race through your home or
business. Powerful up-surges of current can
actually blow out your machine. Less
powerful, barely noticeable spikes, surges, and
noise can silently degrade your system in
time, ruining chips, destroying data, and
causing expensive service calls.
The Kaypro manual states, 'Line filtering
will protect your Kaypro... from power surges or other undesirable
occurrences from the power source." Surge protection will help your Kaypro
provide years of trouble-free service. Also, if you plan to use your Kaypro
to access information by modem, you must have a reliable high frequency
noise (EMI/RFI) suppressor to insure against data loss and scrambling.
There are many "toy" surge suppressors on the market. They are smartly colored, but beware. The performance
difference is amazing. The best surge and noise suppressors on the market are made by Panamax. Our
"Panamax Challenge Certificate" tells all. It is a startling comparison of Panamax quality with 11 other well-
known brands. One aspect of this revealing report tells how Panamax responds to and cuts surges in 5 or less
pico seconds, while most other suppressors respond at a comparatively slow 5 to 50 nanoseconds!
Check our regular low prices. Try the Panamax of your choice for 15 days. Receive the "Panamax Challenge
Certificate" with your purchase. If not completely satisfied with your purchase, return for immediate full refund.
Your Kaypro deserves Panamax protection, the best there is. Order today.

Do You Wish Writing Was Easier?
If you need to write, or want to write clearly, your Kaypro and the software program
Punctuation and Style can help you get there faster. It improves, clarifies, and enriches your
writing by identifying sentences with misused, redundant, faulty, cliched, or erroneous phrases,
and shows you how to improve them. It helps you rewrite and check your work by quickly
marking and annotating your files for easy correction. In addition to computer-fast identification
of awkward, muddy, pompous, and wordy sentence structure, it also finds missing or improper
punctuation, unbalanced quotes, wrong abbreviations, faulty capitalizations, and much more.
Punctuation and Style actually improves your writing by mercilessly pointing out grammatical
errors. After a few weeks with Oasis System's Punctuation and Style your writing is bound to
become more dynamic, expressive, and honest. In time, you'll stop worrying about grammar and
work on projecting ideas instead. After all, that's what writing is about.
Punctuation and Style makes writing and rewriting much easier. The list price of Punctuation and
Style is $125. Central's price is $95. Experience the power of this valuable "Punctuation
Checking and Writing Improvement Software" yourself. Order today to get this program fast.
Punctuation and Style works on files created with Wordstar or Perfect Writer. It comes with an easy to use, clearly written
manual and is packaged in an attractive binder. Join thousands who now write with more confidence, faster, and better.
Perfect Kaypro® Stand
Simple, strong,
„ sturdy, safe.
These words
describe an
attractive,
angled stand
that provides
a perfect spot to
place your Kaypro.
This stand is made from rounded, steel rods
covered with a thick, shiny, soft, black
polymer material that protects your Kaypro
and table top from scratches. Unlike flat wood
or acrylic panels used in other stands, the
tough supporting rods of the Smart Stand
(TM) do not obstruct air flow. In fact, since
your Kaypro is lifted off the table top and
gently angled by this stand, air rises up from
under your computer, and flows freely
through it to help keep it cool. When you're
finished computing, you can slide the
keyboard completely under the stand to create
a working area on your desk. The Smart
Stand is a super value at $34.95. Try it for 15
days. If not completely satisfied, send it back
for a full refund. Matching 80 or 132 column
printer stands are only $19.95 or $23.95.

Menu Manager
A psychologist by profession, I have
accumulated almost 3.0 megabytes of
special applications programs for my
testing practice. Since I had to add my
own list of programs to the hard disk,
the problem became how to manage and
access all these programs with a
minimum of fuss and bother. The
solution was the Menu Manager from P&B
Computer Services, Inc.
The Menu Manager allows you to design
and generate your own master menu to
access any program that will run on your
computer. If you have a program such as
ELIZA.COM on user 11, you don't have
type USER 11 <CR>, and then key in ELIZA
<CR>. You can add this selection to
your own master menu and enter the
program simply by selecting ELIZA on
the master menu with the arrow keys.
Menu Manager is easy to use, as its
operation is entirely menu-driven.
You put in your own program titles and
narrative explanations for both the
master and sub-menu selections. After
choosing the appropriate user area for
program location, you may use up to six
command lines which provide the
operating instructions for the computer.
I have found these six lines to be more
than adequate, even for sequential
access to two different programs.
Menu Manager allows 10 main menu lines
or selections, each of which can contain
up to 10 sub-menu selections for a total
of 100 possible menu items. Once you
have designed your menu the way you want
it, you can always change it again with
ease. You can even swap lines on both
the main and sub-menu selections to
rearrange your menu items. The program
also has a provision for printing all
the menu lines and descriptions.
More information about Menu Manager may
be obtained from P&B Computer Services,
Inc., 13701 N.E. Be I -Red Road, Bellevue,

CP/M Stuff
In the previous two issues of KUGRAM we
discussed the use of PIP and SUBMIT in
developing a menu driven program. In this
column we will set up the computer to go
right to the menu as soon as you turn on
the computer or when you cold boot
(reset.)
Ready? Place the disk you created with
the menu and SUBMIT.C0M [or P. COM if you
renamed the file) in drive B and your
working copy of CP/M in drive A.
At the A> prompt type COPY. Select 0 for
Other. When the new screen appears select
S for Sysgen. (It doesn't matter if your
disk is already sysgened.) Now type
<RETURN>. At the ==> type SUBMIT AUTO.
At this time there is no file named
AUTO. SUB but there is a file that you
created named 4. SUB. That was the submit
file that displayed the menu.
So ... REName 4. SUB = AUTO. SUB.
Now transfer your modified disk from
drive B to drive A. Reset the machine
using the button in the back of the
Kaypro (cold boot). How about that?
Why didn't we just use SUBMIT 4 instead
of SUBMIT AUTO? Well, we could have.
However, using the AUTO allows us to set
up as many SUB files as we like on the
same disk. Then RENaming one of them to
AUTO .SUB will cause that file to be
activated AUTOmatica I I y upon boot up.
Another thing you should do when creating
SUB files is to be sure that the last
line of the file reads TYPE MENU. In that
way, when you finish your program and
return to the system, the SUBMIT file
wi 1 1 take over and the menu wi I I be
displayed again.
If you move to another USER area, make
sure that you come back to USER 0 so that
the menu can be displayed.

To complete our mission to FORMGEN, we'll
set some data entry standards and build
them into the form, add a new field at
the end of the record that will always
contain data (necessary to use the file
with Mai IMerge) , and arrange for that
data to be generated by DATASTAR.
NOTES: <CR> = press the RETURN key.
<key name> = Press the indicated key.
underlined text = text entered by you.
Preparation: Boot your system and insert
disks in the proper drives.
Startup: FORMGEN <dri ve>:NAMES<CR>
Task 1: Set data entry standards for the
last name field and build them into the
form. The standards are: 1) Every record
requires the entry of a last name; 2)
Every last name must be at least two
characters long; 3) All characters in the
Last Name field must be CAPITAL letters;
if entered in lower case, have the
program convert them.
Using cursor control keys move cursor
onto an asterisk in the Last Name field.
<CTRL-R> Most of your form will be
replaced by a row of underscores and the
words "Field Name." This is the first of
a series of choices. All choices can be
accepted as presented, or changed as you
requi re.
LNAME <CR> (Optional, but useful when we
use ReportStar) .
<CR> to accept the default (preset)
values until the prompt reads "Required?
(Y/N)"; default should say "N."
Y To require operator entry to this
field.
<CR> until the prompt reads: "Edit mask?
(Y/N)"; default "N."
Y to tell FORMGEN how we want our data to
look. You will now see the "Entry
Control" screen, its list of choices, and
a place to indicate your choice.
JJ_<CR> to require the entry of at least
two characters. The new screen gives you
the "Entry Control" choices.
C in every space of the field, to tell
DataStar to convert any lower case letter
to upper. The last prompt is "Record edit
character? (Y/N)"; default "N."
<CR> Don't record edit character.
Task 2: Add a field for an ID Number at
the end of the record. Have DataStar
generate the actual numbers.
<cursor control keys> until LIN=7.
ID. NUMBER:
<space> unti I C0L=12
<CTRL-Q> 4 times.
<CTRL-S> once (to move the cursor back
into the field) .
<CTRL-R> (Begin the field-defining
process). The prompt is "Field Name."
IDNO <CR>
<CR> until prompt reads "Field Derived?
(Y/N)"; default "N."
Y to change the default.
<CR> until prompt is "Calculate/File?
(C/F)"; default "F."
C Change the default to "Calculate."
<CR> until prompt reads: "Enter algebraic
expression for field:
IDNO = " IDNO + 1<CR> Add 1 to whatever
the IDNO is to make a new number.
<CR> to look at and accept the rest of
the prompts and return to the form; or,
<CTRL-C> to return immediately.
<CTRL-CB> to save your form and return to
the operating system. (Enter slowly to
see the prompts) .
Debriefing: Our form is complete,
protected, and ready to accept data.
(Type DATASTAR and follow the prompts, or
wait until next time, when we'll do it
together and prevent any unsettling
surprises.) You are ready to start
designing your own forms with data entry
standards that meet your needs.

Sysop's Corner
by Frank Fa I Ion
We receive mail from users of KUGBBS
about line noise and problems accessing
the system. There are sometimes problems
with bad telephone lines over which we
have no control. The problems are caused
by poor quality telephone lines and
switching circuits. Poor lines, low
carrier levels, and noise all add up to
problems accessing any system. The
problem can be anywhere in the connect
path. It may be in your local office or
ours or somewhere in between. High
humidity and summer conditions seem to
make it worse. There is little that can
be done except to disconnect and call
again hoping for a different path and a
clean line on tire next connect.
Line noise is usually more pronounced at
higher speeds. You may see noise at 1200
but not at 300. Dropping to the lower
speed may make a session possible.
You may want to hang on to the old modem
for those systems such as KUGBBS which
are only 300/1200.

WORDSTAR by Chiang
QUICK MOVEMENT COMMANDS
The Ctrl-Q prefix begins a very useful
group of commands. Aside from the search
and replace functions, there are the
Quick movement commands. The prefix, when
added to cursor commands, roughly
translates to the action of directly
going where repetition of the original
command would lead.
The commands in the original cursor
movement diamond, Ctrl -E, -S, -0, and -X,
can all be prefixed with Ctrl-Q. Doing so
moves the cursor as far in the original
direction as the screen allows. The
commands move the cursor to the top of
screen, beginning of line, end of line,
and bottom of screen, respectively. This
instantaneous movement is much faster
than using the repeating arrow keys.
Large scale movement is possible with
Ctrl-Q R and Ctrl-Q C. These bring you to
the beginning and end of the document,
without having to repeat Ctrl-R or Ctrl-C
endlessly. Continuous scrolling is
possible with Ctrl-Q W and Ctrl-Q Z.
These cause the text to move downwards
and upwards, scrolling a line at a time,
until another key is pressed. Entering a
number from 1 to 9 alters the speed of
the scroll (a patched version of WordStar
will also increase the speed). These
commands can be useful for skimming a
document quickly, or to locate a
particular passage.
Various markers, left by the Ctrl-K
prefix, can be used with the Ctrl-Q
prefix. The <B> and <K> markers that
define a block of text can be located by
entering Ctrl-Q B or Ctrl-Q K. Place
markers can be set et any particular
point in the document with a Ctrl-K
<numfrer>; this leaves a marker (from <1>
to <9>J at a paragraph of interest. To
refer back to one of those points, simply
enter Ctrl-Q <number>.
Another handy command is Ctrl-Q P, which
moves the cursor to its Previous location
before the last command or keystroke. If
you check the text at one of your place
merkers, you csn move back to your
starting point with this command.
Or, if you're working in the middle of a
paragraph, and you want to look at the
screen preceding it, you can do so with
Ctrl-R, and then return to where you left
off with Ctrl-Q P.
A couple of deletion commands are also
available with the Ctrl-Q prefix. Ctrl-Q
Y deletes from the cursor to the end of
the line, while Ctrl-Q <DEL> deletes to
the beginning of the line.
A final command, mentioned last issue, is
Ctrl-Q Q. This will repeat the next
keystroke or command, even a two
keystroke commend, indefinitely until
another key is pressed. Like the
continuous scrolling commands, the speed
can be controlled by hitting e number
from 1 to 9. Its main use is for global
reformetting [keep hyphen-help off).
A FEW MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
You can check the size of the file you're
working on by turning off onscreen paging
and moving to the end of the file. The
status line then gives the file size in
characters, or bytes.
If your disk is too full to save your
latest work, erase the file WSMSGS.OVR.
It is not necessary for WordStar's
operation; if you know the program well,
you can save spsce by never putting it on
your disks.
Ctrl-0 G sets the left margin temporarily
(until the next carriage return) at one
tab stop inward. It's good for composing
outlines, or indenting text in general.
If your printer has a DIP switch for line
and serial mode, set it to line. Then
WordStar will fill whatever buffer the
printer has, keeping your drives from
spinning for the entire printout.
A quick, imperfect way to switch between
single and double spacing is to insert a
dot command at the top of the document.
Doubling or halving the default line
height (by entering .LH 16 or .LH 4)
chenges a single spaced document to
double spacing, and vice versa. The
formet of peragraph breaks does not
change, though.
* * * .

In Response ...
...To help organize your hard disk, move
related files to one user area, and use
the SAVE 0 routine to name that area
[i.e. SAVE 0 -DBASE). On Drive A User 0,
create a directory entry that tells you
where to find those files (i.e. SAVE 0
-DBASE. A2) .
...If you wear glasses and suffer from
eyestrain from too many hours in front of
a terminal, ask your optometrist about
the "virtues" of a 10% rose tint in your
I enses .
...To run a .COM file from the system
prompt, type <filename> <CR>. Do NOT type
the .COM extent.
...You may read an ASCII file from the
system prompt by using the CP/M built-in
command TYPE. (TYPE <fi I ename .ext><CR>) .
Note that .COM files are not ASCII files.
Trying to TYPE these files will give you
a screen full of garbage.
...The software bundle for the Kaypro 16
MS-DOS computer consists of: WordStar,
CorrectStar, MailMerge, Starlndex, KDesk,
PolyWindows, Mite, MS-DOS, and GW-BASIC.
...The software bundle for the Kaypro
2000 is the same as for the 16, plus
Traveling Expense Manager.
...To redirect output to the serial port
on the Kaypro 2000, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT
file, and insert the following command:
MODE LPT1:=C0M11:
MODE C0M1:12,E,7,1,P
(12 = 1200 baud, E = Even parity, 7 =
Word Length, 1 = Stop bits, P = infinite
retry on busy) .
You may want to select a different set of
parameters than those used in the sample.
The parameters you use will depend on the
requirements of your external device.

DISK 148: SCREENWRIGHT
This program is a text formatter which
produces screenplays in accepted format.
You compose your screenplay with any word
processing program, entering special dot
commands for camera angles, names of
characters, speeches, parenthetical
descriptions, and directions. SW80 prints
the file with correct script margins. It
can send output to the printer, the
console, or a disk file, starting at any
page number. It is capable of
underlining, or allowing embedded ASCII
codes for printer control. Other
capabilities include automatic scene
numbering, justification, comment lines,
linking files, redefining any of the text
margins, footers and headers, and
miscellaneous page formatting commands.
The program comes with a terminal
installation program.

Library Disk Orders
Send $10.00 (for each disk] to KUG
Library, Box 100, Malverne, NY 11565. DO
NOT SEND US ANY DISKS. Be sure to mention
the disk name, number, your mailing
address and ID number. Save 20% by
ordering any six KUG Library disks for
the price of five. Send us the names and
numbers of the six disks you want along
with a check for $50.00 to the address
above. Make sure your KUG ID number is on
your check.
Perfect Filer v. 1.2 can be used with the
function keys as well as the control
codes because it reconfigures keys when
it signs on:
up-arrow becomes *P (normally ~K]
down-arrow becomes "N (normally \J]
left-arrow becomes ~B (normally ~H)
right-arrow becomes *F (normally ~L]
Unfortunately, it doesn't reset them to
their normal values when the program is
exited. Since I was using my Kaypro 10
with the MASMENU, I didn't notice this
for a while because the MASMENU program
resets the keys itself, and exiting from
PF causes a return to the MASMENU. Cold
boot to reset arrow keys after using PF.
— Carl Speed
Just this week I successfully mated my
KII with our office word processor. The
technique is too simple to believe.
First, get both machines connected with a
null modem cable — pins 2 and 3 cross
connected. Second, run SM0DEMK or other
smart modem program on your machine, and
an equivalent program on the other
machine. Get both machines into the term
mode (i.e., <T B:text.doc> in SM0DEMK) .
At that point you should be able to
communicate directly from one keyboard to
the other screen. Finally, to send data
(ASCII text is all I've tried), use the
informal file send command to send your
file. Use the appropriate receive command
from the other program, and there you
have it. We tried XMODEM and others
before we hit on this simple method.
— Joe Ruh
Re columns in WordStar: Reformat to
desired width of finished columns (~B).
For example, if you compose with
of, say 60 columns and you want
columns to be 20 each, change
margin ( A 0R) to 20 and re-format. Count
number of total lines, or decide how many
are to be on page. Use Column Move ( ~KN)
toggle (not on early versions of WS) .
Turn Insert OFF (*V). Reset right margin
to total width of 2 columns plus
wehatever space you want between them
(e.g., 20 plus 5 plus 20 = 45). Mark what
will become RH copy with "KB and *KK.
Place cursor in first space to be
occupied by RH copy and ~KV. Be sure
insert is OFF! It can do 2, 3, 4 or more
blocks side by side.

At last, a sensible easy-to-use microcomputer-
bookkeeping program designed with the small
business in mind. Combining CHECKBOOK and a
GENERAL ENTRY LOG in one file, SMALLBOOK was
designed for the Small-Business person, operatinq a
cash-type business.
It isn't necessary to be a bookkeeper or accountant to
operate SMALLBOOK. There is ample "POINT-OF-NEED"
help. It is "MENU" & "QUESTION" driven. There are
back-out options in case you err in entry, and a full
editor in case you go too far. You can even go back
and insert a missing entry or remove a duplicate and
then print out corrected reports.
A year in writing, SMALLBOOK is in daily use today,
providing ease of operation where drudgery went
before.
